After Zhao Xing met the two brothers of the Ma family, he set up a private banquet in the mansion that night, and Chen Gui and Li Ru accompanied Ma Kang and Ma Su to have a meal together. "《》()

Zhao Xing asked Chen Gui and Li Ru to accompany him, hoping that these two left and right staff would help him observe Ma Kang and Ma Su, and at the same time, let the Ma brothers feel their importance to them, which is also a way to win people's hearts.

After the banquet, the two brothers of Ma were sent away. Zhao Xing informed Chen Gui and Li Ru about their arrangements, and asked: "I wonder if this arrangement is appropriate?"

Chen Gui replied: "Guochang has always been wise to distinguish people, and this time is no exception. Ma Kang is calm and suitable to be successful. Let him follow Mr. Li to exercise his talents. It is a good choice. Ma Su is impatient and lively, and now he is unstable. It is not suitable to serve too early. Let him go to Taihang Academy to follow Bing Yuan Guanning and others to study. This can not only restrain his mind and increase his talents, but also be appropriate."

Li Ru said: "I think Ma Su is not suitable to lead troops, but can be a local official."

After hearing what the two said, Zhao Xing felt that it was basically consistent with his analysis, so he calmed down.

When Zhao Xing and Chen Gui and Li Ru commented on Ma Kang and Ma Su, the two brothers were also talking about Zhao Xing in Yingbinyuan.

Ma Su first said, "Second brother, I have to see Zhao Guochang today, I wonder what I think?"

Ma Kang thought for a moment and replied slowly: "This person is like an ancient well and his cunning is not bottom-line. It is difficult for me to accurately describe and evaluate."

Ma Su said, "It's not as mysterious as the second brother said? Instead of talking about it for several hours, I feel that this person is good at military and political affairs but is not knowledgeable. His words are not as rumored as rumors."

Ma Kang shook his head and expressed his disagreement with Ma Su's statement. He said: "Young Chang, you need to remember that Zhao Guochang is a born-knower in the legend. He has always seen people who are much longer than others and can be appreciated by others. Now he has achieved amazing achievements. This person knows people and uses people, and has some ability to turn into gold. If you cannot stand out in Taihang Academy, how can you catch up with Ji Chang's (Ma Liang's) in the future?"

After being given a warning from the second brother, Ma Su stopped talking and waited honestly for the arrival of the day to enter Taihang Academy.

Shortly after properly relocating the Ma brothers, Zhao Xing heard that Lu Meng and Lu Xun, who were sent to Jin State from the Eastern Wu, arrived, so he became even more excited and prepared to meet these two extraordinary talents for a while.

Before meeting Lu Meng and Lu Xun, Zhao Xing asked the Shadow Team members to conduct a good investigation. He now knew that Lu Meng was twenty years old this year, eleven years younger than him, while Lu Xun was only eighteen years old this year, thirteen years younger than him. Before coming to Jin State, Lu Meng had just made a mistake, but was just an inconspicuous errand running sergeant around Sun Ce. Lu Xun was not much better than Lu Meng, because his biological father had passed away and now he lived in the Lu family and was often rolled by others.

Lu Meng and Lu Xun in history have one thing in common, that is, when these two people really began to show their talents and were shown, it was already when Sun Quan was in power in Jiangdong. In this life, Sun Jian is still there, and Sun Ce is even more powerful. If Sun Quan wants to take over, he doesn’t know it’s the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, so Lu Meng and Lu Xun are like pearls covered with dust, becoming abandoned sons used by the Eastern Wu to fool Zhao Xing.

But then again, the Eastern Wu is full of talents. If the average number is taken, Zhao Xing's subordinates are not as talented as Sun Jian's subordinates. There are Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and even Sun Ce and Sun Quan. It is probably not easy for Lu Meng, who is of average origin and Lu Xun, who has no backer, to make a breakthrough in Jiangdong.

The information about Lu Meng sent by the Shadow Team members was very interested in Zhao Xing. The information showed that Lu Meng, whose courtesy name was Ziming, was from Fupi in Runan. When he was a teenager, he was dependent on his brother-in-law Deng Dang, and Deng Dang was a general under Sun Ce, the eldest son of the Eastern Wu Grand Prince. In recent years, Sun Jian has been busy clearing out the Shanyue people in Wuzhou, and Sun Ce was the first to take the position of vanguard general.

As a subordinate of Sun Ce, Deng Dang naturally wanted to follow Sun Ce to fight. Lu Meng, who was only sixteen years old at the time, quietly sneaked into Deng Dang's troops and followed the army to attack Shanyue. Later, Deng Dang discovered this brother-in-law and brother was shocked. Deng Dang shouted Lu Meng sternly and asked him to go back to the city, but was rejected by Lu Meng. After returning from the battle, Deng Dang told Lu Meng about Lu Meng's boldness and arrogance. Lu Meng was angry and wanted to punish Lu Meng, but Lu Meng said: "It is difficult to live in poverty and humbleness. If you get rid of mistakes, you can make a fortune. If you don't go to the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son?"

Because the blockade was ineffective, Lu Meng joined Deng Dang's tent and became a big soldier. At that time, Deng Dang had an officer under him. Seeing that Lu Meng was young, he looked down on him and said, "What can he do? He wants to feed the tiger with flesh." Later, this guy often ridiculed and humiliated Lu Meng in front of the soldiers in the army.

As the saying goes, people have three parts of fire, and Buddha has three parts of mud. They are always mocked by others, and Lu Meng finally couldn't help it, so he raised his knife to kill this gossiping guy in anger.

Although others ridiculed Lu Meng for being wrong, he raised his knife to kill someone even more wrong. Seeing that his brother-in-law had caused a big disaster, Deng Dang hurriedly came to beg his grandson Sun Ce for help. Sun Ce was brave and loyal to him in battle over the years, so he found Lu Su to help. Lu Su told the family of the killed officer that he died when he was clearing Shanyue, and then gave a large amount of pension, which finally covered up the matter.

Later, Lu Su came to Jin State to meet Zhao Xing, and was forced by Zhao Xing to choose two talents to Shangdang. So he thought of the thorny Lu Meng and quickly said it. In Lu Su's opinion, if Lu Meng stayed by Sun Ce's side, he might cause a big disaster in the future, and it would be better to throw it to Zhao Xing. It will be thousands of miles away from him in the future and it will be clean.

After Lu Su returned to Jiangdong, he told Sun Ce about the appointment of Lu Meng to the north. Sun Ce showed no objection because of his many generals. In addition, Sun Ce himself was also very troubled by Lu Meng's fighting character, and it was perfect for his wish to send Lu Meng away Jin State.

Lu Meng felt very depressed when he learned that he had become an abandoned son who was exchanged. He knew that the reason why he exchanged himself casually was to put it bluntly that he did not respect him, otherwise such a "good thing" would not be his turn.

When Lu Meng heard that Zhao Guochang knew people well, he felt new hope in his heart. He hoped that after coming to Jin State this time, he could truly get a stage where he could display his talents.

Lu Meng, who was feeling dissatisfied, came to Jin State this time to find the right place!
